Exclusive: Compaq to launch smart TVs in India on July 15

Those that are familiar with PC and laptop brands will undoubtedly know the name Compaq. Once a household name in the laptop and PC space, the name Compaq dwindled away. Now the brand is making a comeback in one of the hottest consumer electronic spaces in India - TVs. Digit has learned that Compaq will launch its TVs in India in mid-July - 15th to be precise. The company will launch 8 models and there will be a mix of smart and “hybrid smart” TVs. It still isn’t clear what “hybrid-smart” stands for in the TV space but we will find out soon enough. Nothing else is known about the upcoming Compaq TVs. 

So how has the Compaq name made a comeback, that too in the TV space? Well, NCR based Ossify Industries has acquired the rights to use the name Compaq for its smart TVs. We think this is finally coming in fruition and we will see the TVs launching soon. 

The TV space is heating up in India with the 32-inch and 43-inch dominating and the 50 and 55-inch space also seeing growth. We have seen a lot of new entries in the small screen size space with Nokia launching its 43-inch TV and Realme entering the TV space with the launch of its 32-inch and a 43-inch TV. We also have brands like Daiwa, Shinco, Thomson and Kodak that make TVs in India competing in this space with budget TVs. OnePlus is also expected to launch a 32-inch and 43-inch TV in India on July 2. 

With the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of people are choosing to stay at home and the black mirror has become the primary source of entertainment for most. With people looking to invest in newer TVs, be it for the latest technology, smart features, large screen experience, etc. this is the time when the TV market in India is booming.

What if a botched Google search card says you are a serial killer

Many of us have come to heavily rely on Google Search and often don’t question the veracity of information Google cherry-picks from the vast data available on the world wide web for its search cards. This incident, which is one part funny and two parts scary, makes it clear that Google’s Knowlege Graph may not be as sacrosanct as you may have believed.  Hristo Georgiev was informed by a former colleague that a Google search of his name returned a Google Knowlege Graph that depicted his photo and linked it to a Bulgarian rapist and serial killer of the same name, also known as ‘The Sadist’, who murdered five people back in the 1970s and was later executed by shooting.  The graph linked the info to a Wikipedia article, which incidentally had no link to any of Georgiev’s profile or his image. It was Google’s algorithms that erroneously matched the two. What’s even more problematic is that Hristo Georgiev is not a unique name and is shared by hundreds of other people.  As...
